Martin & Stacey

March 2017 - Wonderful!

For me, another wonderful time in the Caribbean; the islands are just as wonderful as I remember 28 years ago. Fortunately little has changed. Long may it remain so! Sorry, one thing has changed. The wind!! I loved the sailing and Tim put up with it for me. Both Steve and Sally love sailing and one cannot but feel safe with them. Wonderful professional sailors; totally safe with them whatever the wind. Steve and Sally couldn’t do enough for us. They were wonderful hosts. Thank you. Another ‘thank-you’ to Steve; I had what I call a ‘sheep dog’ rounding me up and checking on me in the water. It was very reassuring for Tim.Tim and Jean

February 2017 - First Class!

Experience of a lifetime. All kinds of weather. 5* cooking. First class sailing and hospitality.

Peter and Birgitte

February 2017 - Fantastic!

What a fantastic way to explore the Grenadines – aboard a luxury 54 foot yacht. You are the most generous of hosts and very skillfully guided us around the most beautiful islands – from Grenada to Bequia. We were always in safe hands and were spoiled with wonderful food, potent rum punches and their wonderful company! Thank you so much!

Chris and Sarah

January 2017 - A Wonderful Adventure!

Steve and Sally, what a wonderful adventure with you and Sally and John Parrot. I don’t think that I have ever relaxed so completely. The boat was magnificent! The sailing, the food and the company were exquisite! Thank you for all your hard work – we are so grateful! Sending blessings and love, Mary

Outstanding voyage. Your hospitality put us ‘Southerners’ to shame. Thanks for the trip of a lifetime.

January 2017 - Fabulous Honeymoon!

There are not enough superlatives to describe ‘Silent Wings’ and Sally and Steve’s kindness, professionalism and charm. We were lucky enough to be aboard last year (28.12.16) and got engaged. We came back for our honeymoon. Sailing, watching the world go by at 7 knots, and actually gybing (!!) twice, is just fabulous. Superlatives are simply not enough – thank you so much.

Andrew and Sarah

December 2016 - Wonderful!

December 2016 - Fabulous!

Dear Skipper Steve and Mrs Skipper Sally, Can’t thank you enough for your wonderful guidance and hospitality. We had a fabulous five days as a family – thanks to you both for organizing our days, for our utmost comfort and enjoyment. Our true introduction to sailing was quite an adventure – we enjoyed every bit of it (even the rolly bits!) and Antoine chirped up in between his seasickness (smiley face). The boat is true luxury, the homemade food truly delicious and the sailing truly ‘awesome’. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts – a bientot.

July 2016 - Excellent Adventure!

204 miles, 5 countries and 9 days of sailing bliss!

Dearest Sally and Steve, thank you for making our dream happen. You so graciously accepted our charter, and then took our vision of this holiday to new heights! It was such a wonderful balance of adventure sailing and restful enjoyment of 5 different countries; then all taken to a level of luxury and excellence that is unsurpassed!

Somehow, you met our dietary restrictions and stilled whipped up spectacular meals and cocktails! I would like to say that the “clean eating” was the highlight of the trip – but then there was the yoga on deck, the deck cushions and the sunbathing, the snorkeling, and of course, the sporty sailing and repeated ‘gulley washes’! You two have been the perfect balance of kind, hospitable, professional, competent and fun. We will forever treasure this trip and are hoping to meet up again soon to sail yet more parts of this lovely with y,all.

Alan and Allison

June 2016 - Memories to last a Lifetime!

Thanks to our amazing Captain Steve and First Mate Sally for a sailing adventure from Grenada all the way north to the BVI. What an exciting opportunity for Paul to sail on his dream boat with all the trimmings! I thoroughly enjoyed the luxury and delicious food whipped up so easily by Sally– scrumptious feasts! The memories of the blue coves discovered by Silent Wings with cold bubbly and great snorkeling, are memories to last a lifetime!

Karin and Paul

March 2016 - Our Honeymoon!

Chris and Darcy

February 2016 - Over the Top!

Karl & I enjoyed a wonderful time on the Silent Wings yacht, especially the extraordinary hospitality and kindness that they showed to us. Our every need was accommodated (except in the failing winds – very unusual for January, we are told).

The ‘over-the-top’ service included a ‘Rube Goldberg’ engineering invention developed and implemented especially for our comfort by Steve and Sally! Karl, whose background is in marine engineering was very impressed by the extraordinary maintenance of the boat and all of the safety precautions in place! Kudos to Sally for her excellent cuisine and organic cosmetic products and to the incredible elf who always made up and maintained our cabin the second we left it! Amazing!

Patricia and Karl

Feedback to broker:

Steve and Sally were the perfect hosts from start to finish. Their competency in sailing the yacht was obvious, we always felt completely safe even when the conditions were less than perfect, the sailing was excellent and great fun!

Sally's home cooked food was excellent as was the hospitality, special mention to the rum punch "sundowners"

The yacht is a beauty, the master cabin was spacious and the attention to detail throughout is a credit to them, it is obvious they take great pride in keeping her in excellent condition.

We were on our honeymoon and were pampered from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble, from taking us snorkelling, to dropping us off on a deserted beach to ferrying us to a waterside restaurant, we were made to feel very special.

Thoroughly recommended! Phil and Diane

31st January - 7 Feb Grenadines

Dear Sally and SteveIt is hard to believe we are disembarking after eight glorious days on Silent Wings. We have always wanted to explore the Grenadines and the Grenada Islands.

Silent Wings sailed beautifully through any condition. Thank you for letting Bill share the helm and lines, a true joy for him. You were most gracious hosts. The yacht is in perfect condition, our stateroom even more luxurious. The Islands so charming and varied, beautiful, unspoiled.

Wonderful meals were a delight. Fresh, local ingredients were such a treat. Tuna caught from the boat could not have been better. In June, when we celebrate #40 we will think of our champagne we shared with you on the Tobago Cays with grilled lobster, tuna and veggie.

A sincere thank you for all you have done to make our trip so delightful and memorable. Hugs to you both." J & B

Steve and Sally are the perfect hosts. Extremely friendly, professional, competent and CALM at everything, from sailing in touch weather to fishing, snorkeling and more importantly, providing home-cooked delicious food and rum punch.We have thoroughly enjoyed our sailing holiday on this beautiful luxurious yacht. We loved the sailing, catching fish (mahi Mahi and barracuda) and eating it; seeing iguanas, swimming with turtles (Wow!) and watching the fish in the underwater lights at night! Amazing times and such fun. We loved tips on sailing and Sally is an amazingly patient teacher of tying knots etc. So patient!Such an overwhelmingly magical trip. I/we cannot recommend a holiday on board Silent Wings enoughMike & Ruth

2014 Grenadines

Silent Wings offers an extraordinary experience of luxury and adventure. Our days aboard with Steve and Sally were spent laughing and feasting. Exploring the Islands was such a pleasure with guides that opened doors to places unavailable to us previously....'luxury cruising'....'unparalleled service'...thank you!'Clayton & Maggie C.

Bequia 2014

We have had the most amazing experience ever! Steve and Sally are amazing hosts, they work so hard to ensure that your every need is attended to. The sailing is exciting and their knowledge and experience means you feel you are in the best hands.The cooking is wonderful, varied and healthy, and sometimes I think you can even catch you own fish, although we were not so lucky this time!Plus the islands are beautiful, the water so clear. We loved swimming with the turtles and over the amazing reefs with so many colourful fish. I had never snorkeled before so learning to do that made the whole underwater experience even more amazing.The vacation has been an amazing 10th wedding anniversary, 50th and 40th birthdays.Thank you Steve and Sally we will definitely be recommending you to all our friends and anyone interested in visiting the Caribbean and travelling in luxury. Lunch on the beach in Bequia was wonderful!Jerry and Lucy
